@xpertfusion3 The matchmaking at launch was absolutely nowhere near anything like we had from mw2019-bo6 that much is true. However, what we had in that 2nd beta week of bo7 compared to the launch was not the same at all.
@xpertfusion3 That's because they did lie about it. Matt Scronce himself is on video saying the matchmaking from the 2nd week of that beta will be the standard at launch. Then a couple days before launch they say a "majority" of the playlists will have open matchmaking "similar" to the beta.
I'll fix it for you: "This now means Activision's recent statements claiming they cannot mimic the old 2012 system because those games didn't have dedicated servers WERE LIES." Every day I'm getting more and more reasons to piss off with this franchise.
Even with dedicated servers added to Black Ops 2, the matchmaking system remains the same as what it was in 2012
This now means Activision's recent statements claiming they cannot mimic the old 2012 system because those games didn't have dedicated servers are inaccurate
Mark im sorry but you and your franchise are full of it. That "matchmaking info" just says a whole lot of nothing and on top of that it got community noted into orbit. Your precious data that you guys flash into our faces constantly should show now how much we hate it.
@Bravo6Intel@XBOX Weโre all focused on fulfilling that want ๐ซก๐ค and all Matchmaking info we have at this time is what has been officially stated on the @CallofDuty account. ๐ซก
@Bravo6Intel I think we know what the biggest thing is after a better handle on cheaters that would make everyone happy and likely would bring more people back.
Ranking Call of Duty's released post-Warzone era:
1. Modern Warfare III
2. Black Ops 7
3. Modern Warfare 2019
4. Black Ops Cold War
5. Black Ops 6
6. Vanguard
7. Modern Warfare II
What's your rankings?
It's honestly sad to say but I'm so fatigued on Call of Duty to the point I don't even want to touch the BO1 and BO2 ports. Even though those games are infinitely more enjoyable I find it difficult to find any desire to touch any sort of Call of Duty game anymore.
Two weekends. A lot of matches. A LOT of clips. And even more conversation.
You told us what you loved. You told us what you didnโt. You pushed the game, we'll make it better. Thatโs what Beta is for.
Thereโs a lot of work ahead, but having all of you experience #MW4 with us for the first time was something special. Thank you for playing.
Beta officially wraps at 10pm PT tonight, get those final matches in. Read our final Beta update here โฌ๏ธ

with Call of Duty's refusal to chill out with the SBMM in spite of the feedback I have to assume Activision must have an outrageous monetary value attached to it as a company asset and waved in front of investors. Maybe even used in the Xbox acquisition to determine company valuation for purchase.
and on paper with their precious data I'm sure it does look good. But if you look up from the desk and see what people are saying about MW4 the single most glaring issue almost consistent across the board is the skill based matchmaking turning every game into a chore, regardless of tweaks and fixes to movement, TTK, etc.
anyone who enjoys the SBMM as it is now is self reporting they are exactly the type of awful player Activision seems so keen to protect from getting their feelings hurt by a loss. Once upon a time if you were bad at a game you just lost. That's it. Try again. Now it all has to be perfectly tailored to maximize player retention with a psychologically-proven ratio of kills, deaths, losses, and wins to make someone keep the game on for just a bit longer. This is not "fun", it is manipulation. None of it is real.
anyway, I cancelled my MW4 pre order because I've got enough responsibilities in life as it is now, I don't need another job that will pay me nothing but battle pass progression. Hats off to those of you that don't, I wish you well with MW4.
@tdawgsmitty@InfinityWard@CallofDuty As much as I'd love for them to address our concerns and give us what they know we want, there's part of that knows they're just gonna ignore us the same way they did back in 2019. Still holding out a sliver of hope but it's fading fast...
